This page is a structured screening support tool for pattern review. It does not diagnose autism, replace clinical judgment, or rule out other explanations such as anxiety, ADHD, trauma, language differences, or sensory processing concerns.
Use the fields below for a structured review. Choose the response that best reflects observed frequency. Results appear above this form after submission.
These examples show how the weighted profile can separate mild, moderate, and elevated concern patterns.
| Case | Social Raw | Routines Raw | Sensory Raw | Impact Raw | Weighted Score | Band | Suggested Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Example A | 2 | 3 | 1 | 2 | 22.7 | Minimal Pattern Flag | Monitor and re-screen if concerns grow. |
| Example B | 5 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 50.4 | Moderate Pattern Flag | Discuss structured follow-up with a clinician. |
| Example C | 8 | 7 | 6 | 8 | 81.4 | Elevated Pattern Flag | Arrange formal evaluation and gather examples. |
This tool uses four domains: Social Communication, Routines & Flexibility, Sensory Processing, and Daily Impact. Each question is scored from 0 to 3.
Domain Raw Score = sum of the three question values in that domain
Domain Percent = (Domain Raw Score ÷ 9) × 100
Weighted Total = (Social × 1.25) + (Routines × 1.10) + (Sensory × 1.00) + (Impact × 1.30)
Overall Weighted Score = (Weighted Total ÷ 41.85) × 100
The weighting gives slightly more influence to social communication and real-world impact. That helps the result reflect both trait frequency and day-to-day significance.
Score bands are custom interpretation ranges for triage only. They are not diagnostic thresholds and should always be considered alongside developmental history, context, and professional review.

- Share the summary with a qualified clinician when follow-up is needed.
1) Is this tool a diagnosis?
No. It is a structured screening support tool. It highlights patterns that may justify discussion, monitoring, or referral, but it cannot confirm or exclude autism.
2) Who can complete this screening?
It can be completed by an adult for self-review or by a parent, teacher, caregiver, or clinician who regularly observes the person being screened.
3) Why are the domains weighted?
Weighted scoring gives slightly more importance to social communication and daily impact. That helps separate frequent traits from traits that meaningfully affect functioning.
4) What does a higher score mean?
A higher score means more frequent concerns were reported across one or more domains. It suggests stronger reason for structured follow-up, not automatic diagnosis.
5) Can a low score rule out autism?
No. A low score may reflect masking, limited observation, situational variation, or different support needs. Developmental history and clinical assessment still matter.
6) Can other conditions affect the score?
Yes. Anxiety, ADHD, trauma, language differences, sensory processing problems, and stress can influence responses and should be considered during interpretation.
7) What should be done after an elevated result?
Save the report, document real-life examples, gather developmental history, and discuss the pattern with a qualified clinician who can choose appropriate next steps.
8) Does this work for both children and adults?
It supports broad pattern review across ages, but formal screening and diagnostic pathways differ by age, developmental level, and clinical setting.
